Get Rid Of Roaches

RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post by vivi76 (2) | (01/10/2008) Contact I have the best solution and it really works. My mom lives in an apartment and she's had a major and I mean MAJOR roach infestation. Someone suggested she boil some eggs, using the yellow core mixed with the boric acid together and place it in an aluminum sheet folded like a tiny bowl or even in the egg shell around the house, especially the kitchen. Make as many as you wish not just one. Anyway, She has no roaches and for a long time now, unbelieveable but true. Do this every 3-4 months. RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post By vic (Guest Post) (08/25/2007) We're going to try Boric Acid, this week we've been invaded by baby roaches in our bathroom, so the WAR is ON!! I'll let you know who wins! RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post By Rosie (Guest Post) (09/21/2005) I found boric acid at my local dollar store in a bottle that looks like a katchup bottle. I also found a great safe alt. I am trying. It is an equal mix of powdered sugar and baking soda. They said it is toxic to the little buggers and it even kills the others that feed off of them. I am going to use both. Wish you luck and a bug free future. RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post by ThriftyFun (3791) | (09/15/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact Boric Acid is available from the pharmacist. You usually have to ask for it at the prescription counter. Susan from ThriftyFun RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post By lilmamma-n-TX (Guest Post) (09/15/2005) I can't seem to find a store in my area that still sells boric acid... can anybody help me? I have been using terminex for nearly a year and what they do has had no effect in over 6 months!! The last guy I think didn't even spray the whole house, I can't prove it though!! My bug problem has now GROWN beyond EXCESS. We originally only had a slight ant and spider problem, now the roachesare taking over and due to the sprays and store bought pesticides, my favorite snake has died!! I am sick to death over this mess. I am trying to get approved to be a foster parent to 1 or 2 children from the Hurricane Katrina relief until their families can be found but just don't feel right until the bugs are gone first. Please help me find BORIC ACID and the recipe to get rid of this ugly little boogers!

RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post by jfrog1996 (2) | (03/23/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact I have seen roaches straight from hell.We looked them up online and they are oriental cockroaches and they are huge like palmetto bugs. Boric acid did not work on them. They walk right through it like it's nothing. RE: Get Rid Of Roaches Post by terdralynn (90) | (03/23/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact When I moved into a duplex in 1986 (I lived up) I had a terrible roach problem. I used boric acid powder, also, and after three weeks never saw another roach. The downstairs unit was empty, so I could only treat our upper, but it worked like a charm. I put the powder in my kitchen drawer wells and on top of the door frames throughout the house, as well as every place sewingmamma mentioned. Of course, I was very careful to wash anything out of the cabinets below the drawer wells before use. I've read in various magazines, science digests, etc., that it's the one thing roaches haven't developed a tolerance for.
